‘The Residence’ Canceled at Netflix After 1 Season But the Story Was Just Getting Started
- Netflix canceled the first-season series The Residence and Pulse after both ranked in its global top 10 for four weeks in spring 2025.
- The cancellations followed Netflix's cost-benefit analysis despite The Residence accruing 177.4 million viewing hours worldwide and Pulse generating 20.2 million views.
- Meanwhile, CBS renewed its new daytime soap opera Beyond the Gates for a second season after it averaged 1.82 million viewers since debuting in February 2025.
- Michele Val Jean confirmed Beyond the Gates' renewal on X, stating, "the decision was above my pay grade," and new episodes will start airing July 7.
- These developments imply shifting network strategies: Netflix limits low-return dramas despite high engagement, while CBS invests in soap operas with growing audiences.
